We also offer 24/7 glass repair and replacement.
It’s a well-worn phrase in franchising, but at Interscreens, we stand by it. You see, we only have one customer and that’s YOU, the franchisee. Sure, it’s also our role to ensure:
But, our first priority is to our franchisees. We are well aware how important it is to prepare you for your new journey into self-employment. We know how important it is to support you in all of the areas where you need help.
Each of us has certain natural skills and abilities and each of us has areas of weakness. After all, no one is perfect at everything.
“Becoming an Interscreens franchisee has given me the freedom to work my own hours and the rewards to go with it. I wish I had done it years ago!”
Those people will more than likely have most of the following natural skills, abilities and interests:
The thing is, you also need some other skills and abilities to run a successful business. So, what we often find is that we need to adapt our training to meet your personal requirements. For example, it may not come naturally to you to prepare a business plan and financial projections or to complete your visit report, invoice the customer and take payment at the end of delivering the service.
So, we have developed clear and simple administration systems that mean you spend the minimum time on the boring tasks and the maximum time on providing a first class service. That means you should never get into administrative chaos and you will receive repeat sales, recommendations and keep control of the business.

You wouldn’t buy a car without first deciding on the model that excites you, then searching for the best deal you can find and checking it out fully, before you decide to part with your money, now would you?
So it should be too, when you consider buying into a franchise. That is why we encourage you to ask all questions pertinent to your discovery process and we take you on a journey that allows you to fully understand the brand, the concept and the people behind it – before you invest.
There is no doubt that buying a franchise is the safest way of getting into business for yourself. According to the latest NatWest / BFA survey of franchising, the UK franchise industry has never been in better shape. The franchise sector boasts the following key statistics:
But, what’s even more interesting is that:
There are some obvious reasons why franchising is more likely to succeed than ‘go it alone’ business start-ups. Good franchisors provide help, support and guidance at critical stages to help new business owners avoid the mistakes that see 50% of new businesses fail after just 3 years.
At Interscreens, we tailor our training and support on the common areas of failure and don’t just provide classroom training. We provide ‘hands-on’ support right at the coal face to ensure you build confidence on all technical aspects, as well as business development. With so many ‘glass’ options, we like to lead from the front and open your eyes to alternative ‘glass solutions’ that might not be immediately obvious.
There are over 30 million vehicles on the UK roads and recent estimates suggest that 1 in 5 vehicles need glass replacement or repair every year. That means there are over 5 million vehicles which need our service, day in and day out.
Unlike almost every other windscreen franchise business, we replace and repair glass in vehicles of all sizes. We are not limited to the smaller repair jobs, where you need to find and carry out 800+ jobs a year to make a decent living. Our ability to repair or replace, opens up the whole glass market and because nearly everyone has ‘windscreen’ cover included in their insurance policy, it means the payment is generally covered by the insurers.
But, we also offer our service to the industrial and commercial sector. Plant and machinery regularly requires replacement or repair glass solutions. This niche sector is a growing part of our business and our ability to offer a competitive and fast service, appeals to businesses who need to get their equipment back into operation as quickly as possible.
Finally, we also work alongside local garages and dealerships to provide glass solutions for new and second hand vehicles. From repairing leaks to replacing scratched screens, our specialist skills are in demand daily from bodyshops and MOT centres. For franchise owners who are prepared to work hard, this is literally a massive market with a massive opportunity.
As part of your initial launch procedure, Interscreens will not only train you at our North East base, we will also work with you in your own exclusive territory and we guarantee to find you your first customers in the weeks after training. We will introduce you to a range of customers in different sectors and demonstrate how we built our business and how you should organize and plan for future growth. We won’t just tell you how to run your business, we’ll show you how to market the service, sell the service and deliver the service.
As well as helping you get started and educating you on how to develop the business, Interscreens also helps you to make bigger profits. Our growing buying power means our franchisees benefit from discounted glass prices, consumables and equipment. That means increased profit margins for you by being part of our network. We even offer special enhanced discounts when your purchases reach pre-agreed thresholds. It’s a genuine example of our ‘win-win’ approach to working with you. Together, we are stronger!
The Interscreens franchise package has been priced to ensure that motivated franchise owners can afford to become part of this exciting network and achieve a rapid return on their initial investment. Franchisees with the right attitude, aptitude and abilities should recoup their investment with profits in a matter of months.
